I'm trying to write a script that retrieves the html code of a page, compares it to the last saved point and if it's different retrieves it again.

Basically I want to retrieve the html code of the weather (since I usually am in a rush in the morning and my internet is slow, I don't want to have to wait), thats the part I need help on, the comparing part I can write a c++ code that goes through it div by div.

I want to do this in the background so I can't use _IECreate.

The TCPStartUp() documentation is very confusing and I just want to send a simple get command of http://www.weather.com/outlook/health/allergies/hourbyhour/graph/11230?from=tenDay_topnav_undeclared

You get the point, I have to start working on an effiecent c++ program that ignores changes in time and stuff like that, and one that renames all static included files (gif, js) into same folder notation and also have to download all external files too.
